Community Tasting Note

vinus_operandi Likes this wine:

Friday, April 20, 2018 - medium to dark ruby color. opens with a nose of rose, tar, cherry liquor and mint but changes to more of a balsamic nature as the wine opens up. nose reminds me more of a barolo. this is a darker brooding wine as far as barbaresco's go. on the palate, I get cherry and an underlying earthiness that seems to pervade this wine. The Serafino family only makes wine from this one prestigious vineyard so you might expect it to be quite good and it doesn't dissapoint. an hour an a half into the wine and it is drinking fabulously. secondary flavor characteristics have just started to develop in this wine so perhaps the next bottle won't be opened for another 5 to 7 years. This is a wine that is made in the old style. no barrique here and therefore no hint of oak, just the varietal beauty of nebbiolo.
